I agree about the craft shoppy workshop fabric place. I asked the owner of this place http://www.themakelounge.com/ to open a branch here but she wasn't v interested. Imagine a Make Lounge in the old Job Centre premises. Or in the Foxtons premises for that matter

Dalston / Stoke Newington / Brixton / Peckham / Whitechapel for starters?


Less hand-wringing.

Sounds fab.

I'd love a proper New York style "deli" serving cracking American style breakfasts, including eggs 'over easy', waffles and pancakes, along with fresh OJ and good coffee. Needs to be have bustling kind of vibe with good tunes, clanging plates, and general busy-ness. It would need to be staffed with proper hospitality professionals who are super-efficient, even if a little gruff sometimes. Would need a long bar where you can watch them prepare drinks while you have your coffee (alone and child-free) and read the paper. At lunchtime they would do oversized sandwiches with pastrami, onions on sourdough, maybe with a touch of mayo.


I have spent some time thinking about this.

Now THAT is something I would get excited about!


Ahhhhhh, a proper gleaming short stack with maple syrup for breakfast. For lunch, corned beef on rye with mustard and saurcraut, a giant dill and garlic pickle on the side. A big frosty glass of iced tea...... oh what the hell make it a Long Island iced tea.......


Keep talkin' quickbrownfox!

    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
    • Just be careful to know exactly what they cover and the limits. i use Many Pets and Medivet, as I think one of the vets is exceptionally good. Some of the NHV are, but I’ve had a couple I’ve not liked at all.  I need consistency and to feel that they actually care more about the animals than the money.
